The Steamer Maud - We understand that Mr. John Elliot, the steward of the steamer Maud, has made an arrangement with the owners which gives him sole control of the refreshment and meal department of the boat, which has been in existence since the commencement of the season. Mr. Elliot will be ready at all times to accommodate passengers or excursionists with anything they may require in his department, at reasonable rates. How satisfactorily he can do so it is unnecessary to tell those who have had experience in travelling on this very popular steamer.
